> So, having said that, from the screenshots, I think this makes the
preferences actually less clear and more obscure to me; I see no real
benefit in the restructuring. AFAICT the problem we're trying to solve are
the almost empty audio/video settings if the real time stuff has been
removed - or do you see any other problems?
Although that was the issue that spurred me on, I also think that the
current design is not very extensible. Upon further reflection though, I
think this could be solved better by moving to a BOutlineListView. I guess
I got too excited about having a new design for it ;)

functionality there instead?

move the audio mixer part there (some of its settings should go anyway
IMO).
I think having a button to play an audio test would be a very nice
feature, but I think the mixer should stay in its own page.
> OTOH we could also add the list of installed codecs, and formats or
something like that, and I guess we could even come up with more useful
additions if we think a bit harder :-)
Yeah, a list of supported formats would be nice to see. Eventually, it
would also be nice to have a codecs section in the preflet, with
preference panels like DataTranslations.
In the mean time, I think I will remove the real-time stuff outright; I
tried, and it looks fine. :P
